CARTBOY ADVENTURE DEMO RELEASE! + Social-Distance Update and Impact on our Operations.

Hey Everyone!
Sorry about the radio silence for a while. The world has been undergoing a manual software revision update and so has your ol’ pal Nobble!

Even with this distance, I have seen great things happen when minds get together.


Postman and I have been working long-distance to continue our operations here at Gamebox LLC. With that said, our work loads are shared differently and currently Postman has been working solely on development for new products we will soon be offering! Nobble has been designing the finalized version of the DMG Consolizer case and we have final DMTV boards on order for the ones who got in to the pre-order before it closed.
With that said, We will be releasing a new type of Gameboy LCD/Controls replacement that outputs HDMI @720p and the base kit is now completely SOLDERLESS!
We will have another update this month to go into further detail about this new product.

Now for some fresh CARTBOY NEWS!
Our amazing Discord server member ChampionLeake (Winner of Wermy’s Sudomod Cartboy Giveaway) has been designing a complete game for Cartboy Fanboys all over the world.
Today he released a stable Demo version of what he has called “Cartboy Adventure!”
Check it out! You can even play the game online or download and flash to a real DMG or even CARTBOY!!!
Description of Game:

“May your Cartventure begin as you play as Gamebox’s mascot, “Cartboy”, a raspberry-pi zero device that’s built for retro-gaming on the go.  In this demo, you’ll venture to three mini-games. Successfully completing a minigame rewards you a badge. Can you collect all three badges to finish the demo?

This game is playable on a real Gameboy device (Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance, etc.) This game is also compatible through gameboy emulation.”
